Description





 


Vast Grimm is a dying universe RPG that offers players a chance to explore. Creator Brian Colin has relaunched the game as a Kickstarter, “Vast Grimm – Escaping Stasis,” which expands the universe and refines the rules. Colin has taken full control of the game, allowing him to directly print and mail books to fans. The new campaign offers modular rules, breaking the core book into a Player and Game Master’s guide, and includes an “Upgrade Toolkit” for all supporters. Colin also discusses his decision to handle printing in-house to combat market instability and maintain control over his projects. He sees a bright future for the MORK BORG family, with a supportive community and continued expansion into card and miniatures games.


Archon Studios has begun revealing models for its upcoming Starcraft tabletop miniatures game with initial photographs showing hydralisks, zerglings, and Terran marines. The miniatures are faithful translations of the iconic Blizzard designs, with details like winged raptor strain zerglings and burrowing markers. While details remain tentative, the game is expected to release in early 2026, featuring battles on a standard dinner table-sized board with model counts similar to Warhammer 40k. Playtest sessions have been conducted at Blizzard studios, and there’s speculation about starter set contents being cast in colored plastic. The article also touches on the historical connection between Starcraft and Warhammer 40k.


Starfinder: Afterlight is a single-player, party-based cRPG set in Paizo’s sci-fi/fantasy universe, described as “Divinity: Original Sin meets Guardians of the Galaxy.” The game, developed by Epictellers, features a branching narrative where choices have lasting consequences. Players assemble a crew of unique companions, master tactical turn-based combat, and explore key Starfinder locales. The game is privately funded, with Kickstarter goals focused on enhancing content and features. Early Access for PC is planned for Q2 2026, with a full release estimated for 2027. 


The Welcome to Troika Bundle by Melsonia Arts Council offers a core rulebook and five adventure/setting books, providing a months-long campaign for players to explore the city of Troika and various adventures. The bundle uses the Advanced Fighting Fantasy system and includes scenarios like exploring a wizard’s warehouse, being hired by a plant king, and escaping a demi-god.
